Mohawk Park Family Campground and Pub

For our third annual cousin’s white water rafting weekend, we decided on Mohawk Campground for our camping needs. The rules are a little weird with amount of tents/​people per campsite (which is 4 in a 4 person tent) but we reserved in advance and got 3 campsites right next to each other along the river. The check in process is quite homemade; you go into the bar and find the owner, who’s an adorable lady who looks like she was raised on this campsite. She explains the «map» to you and sends you on your way. Very helpful, a little frazzle-​brained, but welcoming and looks like she knows how to have a good time.
We got there, set up tent, and it immediately started pouring… which is why having the Pub there is outstanding. We got some dinner (typical bar food of average quality) and beers. The pub stays open until the bar tender gets sick of you. There’s a few pools tables and other activities there.
As far as the rest of the campground goes, the facilities include pretty well kept. There’s bathrooms as well as a shower room. The location is right near all the white water rafting companies and ski resorts, so you really can’t go wrong there. My only complaint is that their quiet hours are really strict at 1AM, which I guess makes sense because you are in close proximity to your neighbors…

I love this place. I love the owners. The food is great, everything is fresh, made to order. While waiting for your delicious food sit back relax enjoy a generous cocktail or a beer. I love the Steel Rail Ale on draft. I had fish and chips WOW, perfectly prepared huge portion and scrumptious. Tasted scallops and fried clams from other diners at the table incredible. The next day I had a grilled chicken salad, huge salad enough to share, but I didn’t. Get your own. House made balsamic dressing crisp fresh lettuce and veggies perfect grilled whole chicken breast sliced on top. The atmosphere is always upbeat and fun. The pub has cool things on the walls ceiling all items collected by the owners. The dining room is homey and welcoming.

Dinner here last night and lunch today, both meals were great. Fresh home cooking using fresh ingredients make for an amazing meal. Last night had a clam plate, yes, that’s right fried whole-​belly clams that were cooked perfect, big and juicy, here in western Massachusetts. Actually better than most places on Cape Cod, where I usually for clams when here in New England.
Today had the grilled chicken salad for lunch, sat at the bar and enjoyed a draft Steel Rail ale with it. The salad greens were a nice fesh mix; the chicken was a whole breast grilled perfectly, sliced, and placed on top. The balsamic vinaigrette served with it they make in house, really good. A huge portion, enough for a full meal.
This has to be the best food, and also the friendliest people you will experience in this area.
I look forward to coming back again!

Didn’t read any reviews, so I was going in blind.
Mohawk park is one if the best parks I’ve ever camped at. Deb (one of the owners) welcomed us with open arms. Made a reservation for 3 days, and got to pick from so many beautiful plots. I was to leave that Friday morning (due to the over reserved spots) when my same plot (#30) opened back up. Yay! Stayed until Sunday morning.
Not to mention the friendly campers/​neighbors. They offered food when we had plenty, and gave us more wood I could burn so I never had to pay for it.
The rules are vague, but reasonable. No pets, I don’t have any. No music, but I was having so much fun, didn’t need it. Fire off at 1am, we partied so hard we was sleep by 12am.
Over all, This will defiantly be an annual trip!!!
